Product Information

Full details

The Loops 13A DP Switched Fuse Spur is designed for homeowners and electricians seeking a functional yet stylish method for isolating high-power electrical appliances such as dishwashers or washing machines. This unit offers the critical safety benefit of double-pole (DP) switching, which disconnects both live and neutral lines for enhanced protection, though it requires professional installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safety compliance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: This unit is designed for standard UK mounting boxes. Due to the double-pole electrical configuration, installation must be performed by a qualified electrician according to current IET wiring regulations. Ensure the main power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning work.

Compatibility: It fits standard single-gang back boxes. It is best suited for indoor use in kitchens, utility rooms, or workspaces where appliance isolation is required.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or acidic liquids, as these may scratch the finish or cause discoloration over time.
